Mr. Trevor R. Gettelman
8851 Hidden Oaks Drive
Eden Prairie, Mn. 55344
Dear Mr. Gettelman:
Upon review of your letter dated September 27, 1982, I've requested City staff
to provide information from our files regarding "assurances" made by the City
to homeowners regarding Anderson Lakes Park, as well as public meetings that
were held to discuss the transfer of the park to the Hennepin County Park Reserve
District. The land that was deeded to the City between your property and the
lake was deeded through a deed with no restrictions to the City on the use of
that property. However, it is very true that the City's plans for development
of the park at that time recognized the west and north shore of Anderson Lakes
as a "no human access" preservation portion of the park. No walkway or
construction access beyond the fence was ever contemplated by the City of Eden
Prairie. This development plan was approved by the Parks, Recreation & Natural
Resources Commission and by the City Council in 1975, and the Parks, Recreation
& Natural Resources Commission and the City Council have continued to support
that portion of the original plan.
In 1980, the City did agree to transfer the two regional parks within Eden Prairie
to Hennepin County Park Reserve District in an effort to save Eden Prairie tax-
payers operation and maintenance costs of in excess of $100,000 per year. Records
show that only approximately one-half the use of regional parks are from host
communities. The City Council felt that the $1D0,000 of operating and maintenance
costs could better serve the citizens of Eden Prairie by directing those funds to
community and neighborhood parks rather than regional parks. Obviously, those
regional parks were still within the City and would be serving Eden Prairie
residents under the operation of the Park Reserve District. The City Council
also noted that the Park Reserve District has done an excellent job in maintaining
and operating the other regional parks under their control. This decision was
not made lightly. The Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Commission and
the City Council net with representatives of the Park Reserve District and the
Metropolitan Council in many public meetings beginning in late 1979 with the final
agreement signed in early 1981.
The Park Reserve District indicated that the City of Eden Prairie would have an
opportunity to comment on any development plans for either site and that the
District agreed with the basic concept of both park plans; however, they expected
there would be some changes from the plans submitted by the City of Eden Prairie.
Your letter refers to an "asphalt mini-roadway" running close under your homes.
However, I believe the plan refers to a woodchip path in that location.
Mr. Trevor R. Gettelman - 2 - October 14, 1982
As you are aware, the Park Reserve District staff will make a presentation to
the City Council on October 19th. The City welcomes your input, as well as your
neighbors at this public meeting, and agree that you should provide testimony
before the Metropolitan Council upon the review of this proposal. I do take
exception to your implication that I should "right the possible wrong done by the
City" in regards to the transfer of Anderson Lakes Park. In my opinion, the City
has not taken any wrong action in transferring regional parks to the Park Reserve
District. Quite to the contrary, I think the City action was very responsible in
an attempt to provide a higher quality of service to the local taxpayer in an
effort to keep down those "heavy real estate taxes" you referred to.
Dbviously, I cannot speak for other Council members regarding this issue, but I
have gone on record in the past in supporting the park plan that did not have
any trail on the west side of those lakes and will continue to support that
•
concept. I look forward to seeing you on Tuesday evening, October 19th, at
7:30 PM.
Sincerely,
CITY OF EDEN PRAIRIE
Wolfgang H. Penzel
Mayor of Eden Prairie

MhMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
THRU: Carl Jullie, City Manager •
FROM: Jan Flynn, Human Services Coordinator
•
DATE: October 15, 1982
SUBJECT: Human Service/Volunteer of the Year Award
Each year the Eden Prairie Human Rights and Service Commission awards a Human
Service/Volunteer of the Year Award. This award was instituted to recognize
those, who without thought of monetary reward, have gone beyond the require-
ments of employment of daily living to contribute time, concern and talents
to enhance the area of human services. The recipients of this year's awards
are:
The first recipient is Lucia Huibregtse: Lucia is very active in the Hospice
program of Methodist Hospital. She has taken intense training and works on
a 1 to l basis with a number of cancer patients helping them and their families
in any way she can. She also has volunteered time at the Glen Lake Sanitarium,
taking a personal interest in the patients. She has gone beyond her weekly
visits inviting patients to spend holidays and home visits in the Huihregtse
home. Lucia is very active in many aspects of her church and is the wife of
David Huibregtse and is the mother of 6 children.
The second recipient is Mary Hayden: Mary has been an active and energetic
person in the area of human services for many years in Eden Prairie. She has
served on the South Hennepin Human Services Council since 1975, serving as both
a chairperson in 1977 and vice-chairperson this past year. She served as
co-chairperson for the South Hennepin Comprehensive Study of Human Service Needs
and worked on a number of committees in Eden Prairie. She is presently serving
on the Human Service Needs Board in Eden Prairie which is implementing recommen-
dations geared towards Eden Prairie. She worked with South Hennepin when Pro-
ject Charlie was first implemented and went on to work with PAR (Parents are
Responsible) achemical dependency program which has been effective in Eden
Prairie since 7976. She took training and worked with Conununity Education, and
when funding caused the program to be discontinued she saw a need and has
coordinated programs through the PTO's in the community. Mary is also active
in community and civic groups such as Girl Scouts and league of Women Voters.
Mary is married to Dennis Hayden and is the mother of two children.

IV. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. 1982 SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS PUBLIC HEARING (Resolution No. 82-230)

Dan Enblom, 10610 Valley View Road, asked if the assessment was a one-
time charge. Dietz said it was in regards to these projects.
Frank Smetana, 7680 Smetana Lone, asked about the deferments for persons
over 65 and the amount of interest which would be added onto the assess-
ment. Penzel noted the purpose of the deferment was to allow senior citizens
to remain in their homes until they personally chose to move.
David S. Anderson, attorney representing the Minneapolis Retail Meat Cutters
& Food Handlers Pension Fund, noted a document had been filed objecting to
their assessment.
Lnl l a`

Motion carried unanimously.
2. I.C. 51-331

ral. Motion carried unanimously.

points addressed by Bearman.
ZaLI `�
City Council Minutes -4- September 21, 1982
Don Sorensen, attorney for Pearman. requested the Council read the
letter which had been presented by Bearman. He addressed the benefit
which would be derived from this improvement in regards to the Bearman
property.
Bentley noted the assessment would be deferred until the property is
developed or sold.
Edstrom stated he felt there were enough questions raised that this
matter should be continued.

to Staff for further review prior to the October 5, 1982, meeting. Motion
carried unanimously.
6. I.C. 52-001
An objection was received from Michael Sutton, 11341 Pioneer Trail.

covered by the City. The City will absorb a pro rata share of the capital-
ized interest, engineering costs and fees for the City funded portion of
the project. Motion carried unanimously.
12. I.C. 52-025
Penzel questioned the 17 year assessment period. City Manager Jullie
said Anderson Construction had agreed to construct a good portion of
the trunk sewer and water line along Shady Oak Road. Because Anderson
picked up the cost on that, Jullie recommended extending the assessment
period from five to 17 years as was stated in the Developer's Agreement.

Lod( �--
City Council Minutes -6- September 21, 1982
Peter Tietz, representing Shelard Companies, managing agent for The
Equitable, stated it was their feeling the street improvement was put
in solely for the benefit of the adjacent property and was of no benefit
to the owner of the property they manage. He also felt the property to
the west would receive benefit and should be assessed.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Edstrom, to accept the assessment
for I.C. 52-031. Motion carried unanimously.
14. Supplementals
Director of Public Works Dietz noted the following changes: under Trunk
Sewer and Water delete 12-116-22-14-0002 (Beaman) and under Lateral
Sewer and Water 11-16-22-23-0012 (Conner) reduce the interest to 6.6%.
A letter of objection was received from William Conner, 12800 Valley
View Road (see, attached.)
William Conner addressed the reasons for his objection. Dietz noted
how the error in omitting this parcel from the rolls might have occurred.
City Manager Jullie spoke to this issue.
Tangen said he felt the City had a responsibility to assume since
it was responsible for the omission. City Attorney Pauly said he
did not know if there had been a direct approach to the City at
the time the property was sold to see about the assessments.
Beth Malmgren, realtor with Bermel-Smaby, said she had personally checked
to see if there were any outstanding assessments prior to the sale of
the property. She stated she thought the City had four different occasions
on which to notice this property had not been assessed. She thought the
City was at fault and the Conners should not have to pay.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Bentley, to continue action on the
Conner's assessment to October 5, 1982. Motion carried unanimously.
Tangen said he thought the Council had heard some good reasons to with-
hold the Conner assessments from the tax rolls.
MOTION: Tangen moved, seconded by Redpath, to accept the Supplemental
Assessments as published with the exceptions noted by Dietz. Motion
carried unanimously.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Tangen, to adopt Resolution No. 82-230,
approving the 1982 Special Assessments, with the exceptions noted on Exhibit
A as recommended this evening. Motion carried unanimously,

City Council Minutes -7- September 21, 1982
B. NORTHWESTERN NATIONAL fANKSOUTH_by Banco_Properties, Inc. Request to rezone
2.5 acres from Rural to C-Ken-Ser and preliminary plat the 2.5 acres for
construction of Northwestern National Banksouth. Located in the northwest
corner of TH 5 and future Prairie Center Drive. (Ordinance No. 82-26 - rezoning
and Resolution No. 82-225 - preliminary plat)
Walter Klus, Northwestern National Bank representative, and Doug Watschke,
architect, were present. Klus spoke to the proposal.
Director of Planning Enger, noted the proposal had been reviewed by the
Planning Commission at its August 23, 1982, meeting at which time it voted
to recommend approval of the preliminary plat and rezoning requests by a
vote of 4 - O. This action was subject to the recommendations included in
the Staff report of August 18, 1982, and additional recommendations as inclu-
ded in the Planning Commission minutes.
Director of Community Services Lambert stated the Parks, Recreation & Natural
Resources Concussion had reviewed the proposal at its August 30, 1982, meet-
ing and had recommended approval subject to the recommendations included in
the Staff report and those of the Planning Commission.
Edstrom asked how this proposal fits into the overall plan for that area.
Enger explained what type of development was anticipated in that general
area and stated it would be compatible; he noted Carpenter, owner of the
property, had not made any definite plans to date for the remaining parcels.
Road access was discussed.
Tangen asked how much elevation would be left to the west once the grading
is accomplished -- he wished to know how the westerly slope is to be handled.
Watschke reviewed the grading proposal using visual aids. Discussion on the
elevations ensued. Klus said he had been working with the property owner
to the west for several months attempting to work something out which is
mutually beneficial and acceptable. He said they have only a certain amount
of money available for the project and if they can do it within that they
will go ahead.
Bentley said perhaps the 2nd Reading of the Ordinance could be contingent
on grading being worked out.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Bentley, to close the Public Hearing and
to give 1st Reading to Ordinance No. 82-26. Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Bentley, to adopt Resolution No. 82-225,
approving the preliminary plat of Northwestern National Banksouth. Motion
carried unanimously.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Penzei, to direct Staff to draft the
Developer's Agreement including the concerns and suggestions expressed in
the Staff Report of August 18, 1982, and those of the Planning Commission
and the Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Commission; the details of
the grading plan are to be worked out prior to 2nd Reading of the Ordinance.
Moti on carried unanimously.
c�� J
City Council Minutes -8- September 21, 1982
Klus said they would like permission to begin grading right away.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Edstrom, to issue a grading permit if
the grading is resolved and a preliminary grading plan is approved.
Bentley said the Council has consistently been saying no to requests such
as this. He said he did not think a grading permit should be issued prior
to 2nd Reading of the Ordinance and the signing of a Developer's Agreement.
There are too many chances of problems occuring.
Tangen said this is a continuation of what is going on already on the
property so he does not see where there is anything new being done.
Penzel said the conditions to be resolved are the building pad grading and how
high the hill to the west is going to be. Bentley said all of this is subject
to an agreement being worked out; what happens if this does not meet with their
approval or fit into their budget?
Redpath withdrew his motion with Edstrom's approval.
Director of Public Works Dietz stated what is presently there is a 3:1 slope
and the Council is talking about a 2:1 slope which is steeper.
MOTION: Edstrom moved, seconded by Tangen, to continue consideration of
an early grading permit to the September 28, 1982, meeting of the City Council
at which time it will be discussed at 8:15 p.m. Motion carried unanimously.
C. CHERNE CONTRACTING CORPORATION by Cherne Contracting Corporation. Request
to rezone 17.43 acres from Industrial to Office for a 103,000 sq. ft. corpor-
ate headquarters and approval of an Environmental Assessment Worksheet. Lo-
cated south of West 78th Street (I-494) frontage road and between Gelco and
Cabriole Center. (Ordinance No. 82-25 - rezoning, Resolution No. 82-224 -
preliminary plat, and Resolution No. 82-223 - EAW)
Penzel noted the proponent had requested this item be continued. However,
Penzel had requested Director of Community Services Lambert to review the
scenic easements, Blacklock line, Lambert line, etc. for the Council using
a map. Lambert explained the various lines and the reasons for each.
Bentley asked if there was any further expansion to the south planned. Bill
Cherne, representing Cherne Contracting, said their firm had hired an environ-
mentalist who had assisted them with their plan. It was not their intention
to expand to the south. Bentley noted that corporate citizens in Eden Prairie
had been very generous and very cooperative in helping the City to preserve its
natural amenities -- and at the same time helping the City in maintaining its
park system.
MOTION: Tangen moved, seconded by Redpath, to continue the Public Hearing to
the October 5, 1932, meeting of the City Council at the request of the proponent.
Motion carried unanimously.

VI. REPORTS OF ADVISORY COMMISSIONS
There were no reports.
VII. PETITIONS, REQUESTS & COMMUNICATIONS
A. Request from W. G. Pearson, Inc. for permission to use a portion of Smetana
Lane for hauling gravel
City Manager Julli.e asked the Council to note that Pearson's application is
pursuant to Ordinance No. 103, which is no longer in force because the City
Code is now effective. Section 6.08 of the City Code, in effect, replaces
Ordinance No. 103. It states that "the Oirector of Public Works may in his
discretion impose upon vehicular traffic on any part or all of the streets
such load limits as may be necessary or desirable." It may also be possible
that Section 11.55, "Mining Operation and Land Alteration Regulations," could
be used to require Pearson to restore the area he graded to construct the
haul road or at least require him to apply for and obtain a formal land al-
teration permit. After speaking with Mr. Smetana it appears that he will
continue to insist that trucks be forbidden.
Oon Bundlie, attorney for W. G. Pearson, addressed the application for
a special permit for driving trucks on part of Smetana Road. He said the
Ordinances which are now in effect are quite clear because they speak of
prohibiting through truck routes when they involve traffic from without
the City. The question then becomes a moot issue as Pearson's trucks are
only coming from the Ring Route. In regard to the load limit issue, the
trucks are corning in on Smetana Lane empty so they are under the 6 ton limit.
Pcarson is willing to enter into an agreement to make any necessary repairs
to the road which might occur as a result of the truck traffic.
City Attorney Pauly further explained Section 7.02 relating to through truck
traffic.
Bundlie said Pearson is asking for a temporary permit. Tangen said it is
not a temporary use when it will be for a year or two. He felt the residents
would have to put up with a lot. Bentley concurred with Tangen.
Penzel said he was concerned with the Flood Plain Ordinance and the Water-
shed Districts -- had a permit been taken out? Jullie said the Department
of Natural Resources had issued a permit for the creek crossing; the Water-
shed District had said it was a minor action which did not necessitate a

Redpath asked if there would be a way for Pearson to work with Helle (the
adjacent property owner) to have a road going north out of the Pearson
property through the Helle property and onto Valley View Road.
William Pearson, Prior Lake, said he had talked to Belle about a road.
He reviewed what had happened about the storm sewer the City put through
his property and into his ponding area. He said he had wanted to build
a cul-de-sac at the end of Smetana Lane so the school buses could turn
around -- this was turned down by Smetana. He stated the reason they built
the road they are usino which necessitates the use of a short portion of
Smetana Lane is because of the work they are doing for the City on the ring
roads. He felt the bid price would have to be raised because of the extra
hauling costs if they are not able to continue to use the route they are
now using.
Redpath said Helle had proposed a north-south road through his property
and he suggested Pearson check this out with Helle.
Bentley said the Council is not interested in making it more difficult for
Pearson but the Council is concerned with safety.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Edstrom, to instruct Staff to get
together with Pearson and Helle to see if a north-south road can be worked
out. Motion carried unanimously.
Marilyn Heath, 7665 Smetana Lane, said she supported the Councils comments.
MOTION: Bentley moved, seconded by Redpath, to continue the meeting past 11:30 p.m.
Motion carried unanimously.
B. Request from Robert Mason for Red Rock Ranch EAW approval (Resolution No. 82-231)
City Attorney Pauly noted the regulations of the Environmental Quality Board
have been revised and that under those new regulations an environmental impact
statement would be required. Under the old regulations the local community
determined whether or not an environmental impact statement would be required.
The Environmental Quality Board Staff has indicated that City Council action
this evening is appropriate and there will be no legal obstacles.
Director of Planning Enger further outlined what the past procedure had been.
He said this project has been "in the hopper" for a long time and the Council
will not be asked to proceed in this manner again. The proponent has said
they are willing to prepare an environmental impact statement should the City
determine one is necessary.
Edstrom asked if the Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Commission had re-
viewed this. Director of Community Services Lambert said they had not.
Inger noted that the environmental assessment worksheets will now be shorter
but most proposals will call for an environmental impact statement. In the
past two years, had the new regulations been in effect then, the City would
have had to complete 26 environmental impact statements. City Manager Jullie
stated the new regulations will discourage area-wide planning.
aOc
City Council Minutes -11- September 21, 1982
Tangen said if assurances can be made that an environmental impact state-
ment could come at a later date if necessary, then he would support this.
Edstrom said he would question this in two respects: procedural and substance.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Bentley, to adopt Resolution No. 82-231,
finding the environmental assessment worksheet for Red Rock Ranch a private
action which does not require an environmental impact statement; and to in-
clude the letter of September 16, 1982, from Robert H. Mason to the Mayor
and City Council Members in which he stated he would be willing to prepare
a voluntary environmental impact statement after full City review should the
Council find it necessary.
Pauly said he could not assure the Council that the letter would be enforce-
able.
Enger said he felt the City has many other controls which might be implemented.
He did not think there are environmental impacts and there is no need, in his
opinion, for an environmental impact statement.
Dick Putnam, spokesman for the proponent, said they would be willing to do
an environmental impact statement should one be deemed necessary.
VOTE ON MOTION: Motion carried unanimously.
C. Request from Golf Vista residents reearding street address change •
City Manager Jullie addressed his memorandum of September 17, 1982, to
the Council which addressed the problem.
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Edstrom, to allow the residents of
Golf Vista to keep the house numbers which they now have and to acknowlege
the name of their private street as Vista Court. It should be noted the
name of the street which provides access to Vista Court is St. Andrew
Drive and not St. Andrew's Drive. St. Andrew Lutheran Church will con-
tinue to use Valley View Road as its mailing address. Motion carried
unanimously.
Bill Wright, 7240 Vista Court, thanked the Council for allowing the
residents to continue to use the present numbering system.
D. Petition to complete trail construction in Prairie East 7th
MOTION: Edstrom moved, seconded by Tangen, to approve the 100% petition
to construct a 6' wide bituminous trail per #8 of Prairie East 7th Addition
Developer's Agreement of February 20, 1979. Motion carried unanimously.

VIII. REPORTS OF OFFICERS, BOARDS & COMMISSIONS
A. Reports of Council Members
Edstrom: Said he had recommended George Bentley as his replacement on the
Waste Management Board Task Force. He called attention to the Townline Road
site as one of the locations under consideration for a hazardous waste collec-
tion site. Discussion ensued on the role the City should play in this.
Director of Planning Enger stated there was no staff report available and
there was no agenda available for the hazardous waste site discussion meeting.
B. Report of Ci ty_Manager
There was no report.
C. Report of City Attorney_
There was no report.
D. Report of Director of Community Services
1. Strategy for resolution of the Camp Indian Chief property question
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Bentley, to adopt the strategy
as outlined in in Director of Community Services Lambert's memorandum
dated September 15, 1982, for the resolution of the Camp Indian Chief
property question. Motion carried unanimously.
E. Report of Director of Public Works
1. 100% petition for utility and street improvements for Arbor Glen Addition
by BFK (Resolution No. 82-226)
City Manager Jullie outlined a proposal regarding a City policy which
would require a developer to deposit 15% of the proposed assessment
for specials which would assist the City in recovering some of the costs
for projects in the event they are not carried out. Penzel stated this
was a legitimate recommendation.
Dick Feerick, 651E Leesborough Avenue, one of the Arbor Glen prinicpals,
addressed the request before the Council as well as Jullie's proposal.
He noted this would contribute substantially to the cash flow problems
which developers now face.
Jullie said a bond would probably be difficult to get for this.
Tangen noted this would be a first and would be a dramatic change in the
City's policy. Redpath said he would like time to talk about this. Tangen
said he thought a policy should be developed. Edstrom thought the policy
should detail when the various costs occur as well as consider how much of
a problem this would create for developers.

City Council Minutes -13- September 21, 1982
Jullie illustrated areas which are or have been a problem to the City.
Tangen suggested Staff come back with further information. A new policy
should not be applied to the Arbor Glen project.
MOTION: Tangen moved, seconded by Edstrom, to adopt Resolution No. 82-226,
receiving 100:C petition, authorizing the preparation of plans and specifi-
cations for Arbor Glen. Motion carried unanimously.
IX. NEW BUSINESS
A. Consideration of Additional Grading in the Southwest Quadrant of the Major
Center Area
Don Opheim, representing Teman and Smaby, spoke to the request by Teman
and Smaby to have 60,000 - 100,000 cubic yards of material moved from the
east to the west side of Prairie Center Drive. The cost for this would be
assessed to the property owners. Dean Wenger, traffic consultant, had told
Opheim that the material could be moved for as low as 8O a cubic yard since
the equipment is already in the area. Penzel stated that proposals such as
this usually are assessed over a period of five years. Opheim asked if this
could be extended to 17 years; Penzel said that would be too long. Edstrom
said he shared concern with Penzel regarding the benefit of this to the City.
He thought it might provide a rather unique financing tool. Penzel said the
City has no concept of what these properties might be used for in the future.
City Attorney Pauly addressed the legal aspects of the request. Jullie spoke
to the stabilizing of the roadbed. Pauly suggested this be looked at more
carefully.
MOTION: Edstrom moved, seconded by Redpath, to refer this matter back to
Staff for review with the possibility that this can be discussed further
at the Special Meeting of the City Council scheduled for September 28, 1982.
Motion carried unanimously.
Tangen said he felt the City should receive a 100% petition for this before
he would vote favorably.
X. ADJOURNMENT
MOTION: Edstrom moved, seconded by Bentley, to adjourn the meeting at 12:25 a,m,

City Council Minutes -2- September 28, 1982
V. CONSIDERATION OF ADDITIONAL GRADING IN THE SOUTHWEST QUADRANT OF THE MAJOR
CENTER AREA
Don Opheim and Dean Wenger, engineering consultant, were present to represent
the petitioners. Opheim explained two requests for additional grading: first,
approximately 25,000 additional cubic yards to be removed from the Tetuan prop-
erty to finish sloping and previous grading commitments by the City; second,
an additional 25,000 cubic yards to be moved from each of the three properties
(Teman, Bermel, Feeders) and charged back as a 5-year special assessment. City
Attorney Pauly advised the Council that any grading work done by the City must
be in conjunction with an authorized public works project. The City is not
authorized by Statutes to make improvements on private property. Jullie ad-
vised that there was a City responsibility, as part of the right-of-way nego-
tiations process, to place approximately 100,000 cubic yards of material on
the west side of Prairie Center Drive. To date only about 75,000 cubic yards
had been so placed. The Council's action was as follows:
MOTION: Redpath moved, seconded by Edstrom, to allow grading to continue on
the Teman property to complete the 3:1 sloping as outlined in previous grading
commitments, with approximately 25,000 additional cubic yards to be moved to
the west side of Prairie Center Drive. Motion carried unanimously.
The proponents were then advised to consider submission of a 100% petition for
grading and backsloping on Singletree Lane, a future City street. Along with
the petition, proponents should also submit grading plans and a commitment for
right-of-way dedication.
VI. NEW BUSINESS
There was none.

Marshall Oaks was present on behalf of the developer. He introduced
Ralph Wagner of Probe Engineering to give a brief presentation of
the proposal.
Kingrey asked if the north/south street could be moved to allow
the trees and the knoll in the central portion of the site to
remain?
Krier said the knoll would still have to come down to allow the
east/„pest street to go through. He added that the developer plans
to do extensive landscaping to compensate for the loss in trees.
Krier also noted that the initial grading will occur for the
west loop'road system and buildings.
Anderson and Kingrey both emphasized that they do not want to see
another Menard's situation where all the grading was done in the
• beginning and the land still is vacant of building or vegetation.
Kingrey suggested that when the street goes in, even before lots
are sold, landscaping be done along the street.
•
MOTION: Schwartz moved to recommend to the Council that they
consider requiring boulevard trees be planted at the time the street
is put in at the Edenvale 9th Addition site. That the trees used
be in accordance with City policy and that they be put
in within 6 months time of when the streets are completed.
Kingrey seconded the motion. The motion carried, 5 in favor, 1
opposed (Anderson).

Marshall Dates, Ruscon Homes, informed the Commission that their Deer Creek
proposal, which is currently unaer construction east of Mitchell Road has
sold out, and there is an increasing demand for modest cost housing. He stated
that they desire to preserve the majority of maple and oaks on the site, will
vary the unit exteriors, that they would like to start phase 1 this Fall, and
no variances are being requested.
Mark Nagel, Ruscon, presented slides of home styles constructed by Ruscon.
The Planner summarized the recommendations in the September 23 staff report.
Sutliff asked if this plat would accommodate a four lane limited access design for
Crosstown 62. The Planner replied that Hennepin County has no present plans for road
improvements in this area, but that previous plans has contemplated utilizing
Townline Road as a frontage road.
Torjesen inquired if the streets could be modified to align or off-set the Minnetonka
streets without significantly changing the plat. The Planner replied minor changes
would have to be done.
Bill Mauer, Probe Engineering for Ruscon, felt the plat could be easily modified to
accommodate at least 150 foot off-sets from the Minnetonka roads to the north.
Marhula questioned whether the sight distances at these proposed intersection areas
would be adequate. He stated that his recollection was that the proposed location
for the center road would be on the downside of a hill. The Planner replied that
the road intersections would have to be related and this would be done with concern
toward proper sight lines.
Torjesen asked what alternatives there are to removing the mature oak trees within
the Duck Lake Road right-of-way when it is upgraded. The Planner replied that Duck
Lake Road has a very steeply rolling vertical alignment currently, and when this
was upgraded with proper street standards, the grading required would in many places
extend out into wooded areas directly adjacent to the existing road. It would not
be possible to mitigate this without shifting the road toward the east, and impacting
existing single family lots.
Torjesen then asked if it made any sense to leave current Duck Lake Road alone and
build a new minor collector through the plat. The Planner replied that this was a
suggestion that would require more study, but that the number of lots fronting on
this realigned minor collector would be about sixty, and that would be a situation
the City should try to avoid.

Planning Commission Minutes -2- September 27, 1982
Retterath asked if the four lots fronting into Townline Road would cause a problem
and also whether the corner lot could take access from Duck Lake Road instead. The
Planner believed 'T' drives would mitigate problems, and the corner lot could take
access from Duck Lake Road.
Marhula inquired if the wetland outlot would he included in the scenic easement.
The Planner replied the pond outlot would be dedicated and the easement would be
beyond that.
Sutliff asked if upgrading Duck Lake Road would create drainage problems. The
Planner replied the upgrading would improve the drainage and a proper storm sewer
system would be installed.
George Kissinger, 6601 Barberry Lane, felt grading on the site would be excessive.
He suggested a lift station located in the northwestern corner to serve the site
so the hill would not be cut 25-30 feet and that the sidewalk along the west side
of Duck Lake Road be eliminated to preserve the oak trees. Kissinger also felt
that street lights in the proposal should be kept to an absolute minimum, stating
that this neighborhood felt they are a nuisance. The Planner replied that the area
of cut was largely open field and that the City tries to eliminate lift stations in
a proposal unless they are absolutely necessary. With regard to sidewalks, The
Planner said that sidewalks along Duck Lake Road would be an extension of the existing
situation and that the addition of sidewalks would not be the factor in upgrading of
Duck Lake Road which would effect tree removal one way or the other. Street lights;
The Planner continued, were placed most sparingly but that the City most often
received petitions from existing neighborhoods requesting additional lights for safety
purposes.
Marhula mentioned that the majority of the lots seemed to be anticipated to be
walk-outs or tuck-unders from the grading plan. He asked if these are the only type
•
of units Ruscon proposed to build. Marshall Oakes responded that an entire variety
of units would be built, but for the overall grading plan, grading was planned as
shown.
Marhula stated that the Commission should be aware that final grading may be some-
what different than shown.
Ann Luek, 6381 Duck Lake Road stated she felt the lots accessing to Duck Lake Road
would cause problems and that residents along the east side of the road should not
be assessed for the road. The Planner replied that a feasibility study would have
to he done before proceeding with improvement of Duck Lake Road. The study would
suggest an assessment role and method of spreading assessments, for the City
Council's determination.
MOTION 1
Marhula moved to close the public hearing on Woodlawn Heights. Sutliff seconded,
motion carried 6-0.
MOTION _2
Ndrhula moved to recommend to the City Council approval of the rezoning of
approximately 59.68 acres from Rural to R1-9.5 for construction of 139 single

The site is steeply rolling in character and varies from a low point at
the south end of the pond/marsh at 371, to a high point, in the center of
the project of D52.
Drainage patterns within the site are: south section of the site drains to
floodplain area, northeast section of the site drains to pond and northwest
section of the site drains oft-site to the west.
The soutin:est section of the site is subject to flooding. The pond/marsh
area in the Past section of the parcel dues maintain water and is classified
as public waters.
Any work in public waters will require a permit.
Watershed District review and approval will be required.

REQLV( i: Rezoning of 1.6 acres from R1-22 to R1-13.5

street right-of-tray.
LAND FOE
• The property is currently zoned R1-2? and is designated low density on the
Cc:,pre?:'n•sive Guide Plan. The parcel has 333 feet of frontage on Valley
Vick+ Road.
The R1-22 Zone was adopted in 1963 in order to allow large lot developeeent
existing prior to sewer and water to be 'grandfathered in'.
flara,iri di,,id? one lot (338 x 2D8') into three lots with a
along Valley Vic Red with dr i c 's directly to the street This is
not a good situati;,,r for a Cenaunity Collector road. Therefore, the
owner should consider oorabining the drives off two of the lots at a
point of god sight visibility. The drives should also be constructed
in such a way as to allow access to Valley View Road front first, such

B. TREANOR ADDITION, by Guy Treanor. Request for preliminary
plat approval of 1 lot into 3 lots for approximately 1.6
acres and rezoning from R1-22 to R1-13.5. Located south
of Valley View Road across from Franklin Circle 16117 Valley
View Road. A public hearing.
Mr. Treanor requested approval to divide his 1.6 acre R1-22 property into 3 lots.
The Planner described surrounding zonings and lot sizes. He stated that Valley
View Road right-of-way would be part of the plat and 3 utility hook-ups are avail-
able to the property. He then reviewed the recommendations of the staff report
and suggested that the two new drives be combined to one access point to Valley
View Road:
Mr. Treanor preferred the use of 'T' drives onto Valley View, not a joint access.
The following individuals spoke in opposition to the platting: Jim Gordon, 16210
Westgate Lane; Mr. Lahti, 16213 Valley View Road; Mr. Klem, 16250 Westgate;
Mr. Thompson, 16101 Valley View Road; Mr. Johnson, 16221 Westgate; Mr. Hockert,
16180 Westgate; and Mr. Fleishman, 16170 Westgate Lane. The objection was that
the lots would not be in character with the surrounding neighborhood.
Mr.. Carlson, 7352 Franklin Circle, stated that most of the lots in his subdivision
are under 22,000 sq. ft. in size and he is in favor of Mr. Treanor's request.
MOTION 1
Hallett moved to close the public hearing on Treanor Addition. Sutliff seconded,
motion carried 6-0.
MOTION 2
Hallett moved to recommend to the City Council approval of the rezoning from R1-22
to R1-13.5 for approximately 1.6 acres as per the plans dated 9/16/82 and the staff
report dated 9/24/82. Marhula seconded.
DISCUSSION
Torjesen expressed concern that the proposed lot sizes are not similar to the
immediate area.
Marhula believed other division of large lots along Valley View Road may occur when
assessments for road improvements are levied.
Torjesen stated he does not support R1.13.5 on the south side of Valley View Road
where it is R1-22. •
Motion failed 2-4. Hallett and Marhula voted aye.
The Planner explained to the Commission that normally they would not proceed with
action on a preliminary plat request when a motion for rezoning had been defeated.
However, in this case, Mr. Treanor had received a variance from the Board of Appeals
to allow smaller lots in the R1-22 zone, and it would be appropriate for the
Commission to consider action on the preliminary plat.
MOT I Otr' 3
Hallett moved to recommend to the City Council approval of the preliminary plat
dated 9/16/R2 to divide 1 lot into 3 lots on approximately 1.6 acres as per the
staff report recommendations dated 9/24/82 adding ,4 'T' drives for lots A and B
be added. Marhula seconded, motion carried 4-2. Sutliff and Torjesen voted nay.

neighbors and it is a reasonable request. This will not be
harmful; it will add to the aesthetic value of the neighbor-
hood if done properly. Lynch seconded the motion. Motion
carried unanimously. He has one year to exercise this
petition.
C. Variance request 082-17, fora variance from OrdinanceM135, submitted
by Guy K. Treanor, located at 16117 Valley View Road. The request is
to divide the lot lnt.o three lots, with lots A & B having less than the
minimum rcqui_rcments of depth and width. —
Guy Treanor was present and showed his plans to the Board. He intends
to sell his 1.6 acre vacant lot as two lots. There are two sewer and
water hook-ups already established. Treanor was advised by a local
builder and realtor that there was room for two additional homes. His
home has been appraised at between $60,000 and $55,000, including one lot.
Wedlund inquired if Treanor intended to develop the lots himself.
Treanor replied, no. The property has been up for sale approximately
two weeks. If divided, the lots would have 95' front footage. It
was deeded as one lot.
Sanders pointed out that the!-e are three steps involved in dividing
the lot: contact with the Board of Appeals, the City Engineer,regard-
ing lot division, and approval of the City Council.
Mr. Lahti, a neighbor, residing at 16213 Valley View Road, felt that
the front footage would not be consistent with Valley View Road. His
property adjoins Treanor's to the west. He has 208' front footage.
Pre-fab homes are something that he doesn't want to see put in. Treanor
displayed plans of homes that would fit into the lots. Wedlund stated
that Treanor isn't going to bui ld, just sell,and he does have a concern
as to what's going to be put there.
Mrs. Vest, the previous owner, was also present. She holds the contract
for deed on the property. Lynch questioned if the assessments had been
paid. Vest answered that they went on the tax statement; she is paying
assessments for three lots.
Mr. John Hockert, 16180 Westgate Lane, inquired as to the value of the
homes that might be put in. He does not feel there is room for two add-
itional houses on the lot. Lynch was sympathetic to the concern regard-
ing the value of the homes, but stated that this is something we can't control.
Wedlund expressed concern for the two sewer hook-ups. Someone dictated
that this might happen.
Dickey cited that Treanor is asking for a 27% variance and this poses a
problem for him.
.Board of Appeals and Adjustments July 15, 1982
-3-
MOTION: lynch made a motion to approve variance request
#82-17, submitted by Guy K. Treanor. The lot
can he divided into three according to the survey.
Potential for water and sewer was recognized by
the City. Lots have apparently been sub-divided
to the immediate east and also lots immediately
to the north. Wedlund seconded the motion. A
vote was called on the motion. The motion carried
with Dickey voting "nay".
DISCUSSION: Mr. James E. Jordan, 16210 Westgate Lane, wondered
if a duplex could be considered and if a variance
would be required. Wedlund responded yes, a var-
iance would be required, but the Board of Appeals
does not consider the type of home. Jordan inquired
if the neighbors would be notified of further issues.
Sanders suggested they keep in contact by calling
City Hall in l'-2 weeks.
Wedlund stated the Board of Appeals has given
approval, but can't divide property. The City
Council will have to weigh the matter. Treanor
will have one year of time to exercise the
petition. Wedlund extended a thank-you to the
neighbors for their concern and interest.
D. Variance request P82-18, for a variance from Ordinance #135, submitted
by Join and Mary Fabian, located at 13575 Janes Place.. The request is
to add a porch which would encroach into theside.yard setback approx-
imatel,l% one_ (1) foot.
Mr. Fabian was present, and reviewed his plans with the Board. He
proposes to add on a 10' x 22' screened porch to his house. Neighbors
have been spoken to and there are no objections.
Discussion ensued regarding the minimum setback requirements. Wedlund
explained that it should be a minimum of 15'. This would be a 66%
variance that is being looked at. Wedlund inquired if there are any
utility easements. Fabian commented that there is an easement between
the lots, but no utilities are in it.
Dickey inquired if Fabian would build it himself. Fabian responded
yes, he was in the construction business; supervisor of an elevator
company. Dickey wondered what type of siding would be used. Fabian
said ten,9" masonite, not wood. The same panelling effect would be
used on the sides, front, and rear.
Sanders inquired if it would be a concrete floor. Fabian stated no,
a tongue and grove. Sanders explained that a tongue and grove expands
tremendously whrn it's wet. Fabian said he was not proposing glazing.
Wedlund asked if there would be plumbing or heating. Fabian replied, no.

Dear Mr. Enger: •
RE Proposed Plat - "Sunrise Knoll - Revised"
CSAH 61 NW Quadrant of Rowland Road
Section 1, Township 116, Range 22
Hennepin County Plat No. 1033R
Review and Recommendations
Minnesota Statutes 505.02 and 505.03, Plats and Surveys, require County review
of proposed plats abutting County roads. We reviewed the above plat and found
it acceptable with consideration of these conditions: ,
-For future improvements to CSAH 61 the developer should dedicate the additional
20 feet of right of way and the corner cut at Rowland Road shown on the revised
layout dated August 17, 1982. The yellow area shown on Attachment 1 shows the
right of way required by Hennepin County. The new right of way for CSAH 61 will
be 60 feet from the centerline.
-No direct access to CSAH 61 will be granted by Hennepin County.
-The access shown as far west as possible onto Rowland Road is acceptable to
Hennepin County.
-The developer must place all plantings back from the roadway far enough to
allow clear sight distance from Rowland Road to the north.
-All proposed construction within County right of way requires an approved utility
permit prior to beginning construction. This includes, but is not limited to,
drainage and utility construction, trail development, and landscaping. See our
Maintenance Division for utility permit forms.
-The developer must restore all areas disturbed during construction within County
right of way.
Please direct any response or questions to Les Weigelt.

Planning Commission Minutes September 27, 1982
MEMBERS ABSENT: William Beaman
C. SUNRISE KNOLLS REViSED, by Edward A. Sieber. Request for
rezoning from Rural to RN 2.5 on 2.99 acres for construction
of an apartment building of 2 stories and 2D units. Located
at Co. Rd. 61 and Rowland Road. A public meeting.
Frank Reese presented the proposal. He stated the County did not retain this piece
with Shady Oak right-of-way because it was thought to be buildable. He said the
site would be cut 6-10 feet for building siting.
The Planner showed slides of the property and views from the property.
Marhula inquired what the approximate rental rates would be. Sieber replied $415
for 1 bedroom and ShOD for 2 bedrooms with a construction cost of approximately
$45,000/unit.
Torjesen asked if proper screening could be accomplished in the 10 feet between
the drive and the west property line. The proponent replied affirmative.
Oavid Green, 6561 Shady Oak Road, felt there was insufficient land for the building.
Mrs. Gerecke, 6622 Golden Ridge Road, expressed concern about increased traffic.
Mr. Oudycha, 6602 Golden Ridge Road, requested plantings along the south property
line.
Mrs. Windfeldt, 6621 Golden Ridge Road, stated the entrance would cause traffic
problems.
Robert Green, 6533 Shady Oak Road, said the area does not want medium density
residential in this location.
Marhula asked if the units would be condominiumized in the future. Sieber replied
it is not in their present plans.
MOTION
Sutliff moved to recommend to the City Council approval of the rezoning from Rural
to RM 6.5 on 2.99 acres for construction of an apartment building of 2 stories
and 20 units as per the plans dated 8/17/82 and the staff report dated 9/23/82 and
the Hennepin County letter dated 9/23/82. Hallett seconded.
OISCUSSION
Torjesen stated that the proposed zoning is consistent with the Guide Plan but in-
consistent with existing grandfathered uses around it. He would like to minimize
the impact on the surrounding residents and recommended that the staff review
screening plans in detail prior to building permit issuance. Motion maker and
seconder agreed to include this as part of the motion.
Motion carried 6-0.

PROJECT: SUNRISE KNOLL REVISED
LOCATION: Northwest corner of Shady Oak
Road and Rowland Road
APPLICANT AND
FEE OWNER: Edward A. Sieber
REQUEST: Rezoning of 2.9 acres from Rural to
RM 2.5 for a 20 unit building.
BACKGROUND
The Guide Plan designates this site as medium density residential. The
zoning has been Rural since adoption of Ordinance 135 in 1969.
The site was proposed for a 3 story 36 unit building in July of 1982. This
request required a Guide Plan change from medium to high density residential.
At the July 26, 1982 Planning Commission meeting a motion recommending
denial of the Geiie Plan rhanon mac merle The proponent withdrew hic
request uefute pi uteeuinu Lu the City C6w wil.
Although the proponent has requested RM 2.5 zoning, the 20 units on the
2.99 gross acre site fits within the RM 6.5 District. Staff recommends
rezoning to RM 6.5 be considered.
The gross density would be 6.68 units/acre, well under the 10 units/acre
allowed in the medium density residential designated by the Comprehensive
Guide Plan.
EXISTING SITE CIIAPSACTER
The site's south end is a high grass covered knoll. In the center of
proposed tract A is a small clump of woods consisting of box elder, elm,
and cherry trees.
From the tree area, the site drops to a low of about 881 elevation then
rises to 904 at the north cud of tract B.
No building exists on the site.
To the cast of the site is Co. Rd. 61 and across that is the City West
• development. To the south is Rowland Road and a single family residence.
To the west are large lot single family ranging in sieo from 1-5+- acres.
And to the north are large lot residential designated on the Guide Plan
as medium density residential (figure 1).
SOiLS
KinOey soil exists on the site where the parking and building will occur.
This soil is permeable but drain tile is recommended for building, and
fill siusL have ample tine to settle prior to restoration.

Right-of-way to the road centerline is part of the property description and
totals 2.99 acres, giving a gross density of 6.69 units/acre. The net
density, subtracting right-of-way from both roads, would be approximately
8.7 units/acre.
The building currently proposed is two stories in height with a pitched
wood shake, shingle roof. The exterior of the building is face brick
with wood balconies and trim. The building is small for an apartment
project, and very much in scale with the neighborhood when viewed as a
transition use.
LANDSCAPING
A preliminary landscape plan has been submitted. Honeysuckle and Aborvitae
are shown along the west property line as a buffer between the building and
single family to the west. lhese plant materials will only reach a height
of approximately 5-8 feet. Staff recommends use of full story tree ever-
greens, no less than 8, (4-5' high at planting) evergreens in this area.
These trees will reach a greater height and he more effective in screening
areas of the building from the single family to the west. A detailed plan
must be submitted and approved prior to building permit issuance.
LIGHTING
lire parking lot is between Co. Rd. 61 and Rural single family lots. Cut-
off luminars on light poles would be needed to reduce glare onto adjacent
properties. These lights need not be any higher than 14 feet.
GRADING/DRAINAGE
the site is being cut approximately 2-4 feet for the building and parking.
The site is 10-13 feet higher than Co. Rd. 61 and will be overlooking the
City West development.
Drainage is directed towards ditches adjacent to Co. Rd. 61 and Rowland
Road. No catch basins or storm water pipe; are depicted. Prior to
Council approval, staff reconursnds proponent meet with the City Engineering
Department regarding storm water plans. Storm water plans will also be
subject to Watershed review and approval.
UTILITIES_
City sewer and water are across Co. Rd. 61 in the City West site. This use
and the Irropnsed Auunco Station '; mile to the north both desire City sewer
and water. the City Engineering Department has not yet detennined where
to jack utilities under Co. Rd. 61 or the cost. Prior to any permit,
location and size of utilities must he determined by City Engineer.

SUBJECT: Joint Master flan Ryland/Bush/Anderson Lakes Regional Park
Reserve
Attached to this memo are the unapproved minutes of the October 4 meeting of
the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission regarding the discussion
of the proposed Joint Master Plan for Anderson lakes Regional Park Reserve.
• Also, attached is a Ietter to Greg Mack, dated September 23, regarding Eden
Prairie concerns of the draft master plan.
At the October 4 meeting, the majority of the discussion revolved around two
major concerns of the proposed plan. The primary concern was regarding the
proposed walking path on the west side of the south lake. Park Reserve District
staff feel quite strongly that a loop trail around the south lake is desirable
for interpretive trail purposes. Property owners adjacent to the park in that
same area arc strongly opposed to a public trail behind their homes for a variety'
of reasons. Many of the reasons arc pointed out in the correspondence from
Trevor Gettclman, 8851 Hidden Oaks Drive. Eden Prairie City staff are also in
opposition to the trail along the west side of the south lake; mainly, because
of the narrow strip of land between private property and the lakeshore. City
staff feels that a loop trail system is desirable within any interpretive
program; however, the loop trail can occur entiraly within the portion east of
the south lake and south of the north lake. The proposed trail west of the
south lake will not provide any unique view of the lake or lakeshore and will
eliminate the shore "preserve" that was originally conceived for that portion of
the park.
The other major issue relates to the location of the access road and parking
facilities to service this portion of the park reserve. The plan merely shows
an arrow opposite the Franlo Road intersection with Anderson lakes Parkway.
This area of the park is an open hayfield that would allow the acces road and
parking facilities to be very visible from adjacent property owners. City staff
feels that this would depart from the standard procedure of the Park Reserve to
screen access roads and pa king facilities, not only from adjacent land uses
but from park users. City staff would suggest that the Park Reserve District
consider moving, the access easterly into the wooded area where screening could
be accomplished very easily.
Greg Mack, Southern Division Manager for the Park Reserve District, and Don Dube,
Landscape .Architect for the District, will be in attendance at the October 19
meeting to provide a piesentation to the City Council regarding the proposed
Joint s!,e.ter Plan. Itpon receiving a recommendation regarding the plan from the
Fen Prairie City Council, lark Reserve District staff will present the plan to
the Hennepin County Park Reserve District Board and then to the Metropolitan
Park and Open !;pace Commission and the Metropolitan Council later this year.

Minutes - Parks, Recreation & Unapproved October 4, 1982Natural Resources Commission -3-
Kingrey asked if the north/south street could be moved to allow
the trees and the knoll in the central portion of the site to
remain?
Krier said the knoll would still have to come down to allow the
east/west street to go through. He added that the developer plans
to do extensive landscaping to compensate for the loss in trees.
Krier also noted that the initial grading will occur for the
west loop road system and buildings.
Anderson and Kingrcy both emphasized that they do not want to see
another Menard's situation where all the grading was done in the
• beginning and the land still is vacant of building or vegetation.
Kingrey suggested that when the street goes in, even before lots
are sold, landscaping be done along the street.
MOTION: Schwartz moved to recommend to the Council that they
consider requiring boulevard trees he planted at the time the street
is put in at the Edenvale 9th Addition site. That the trees used
be in accordance with City policy and that they be put •
in within 6 months time of when the streets are completed.
•
Kingrey seconded the motion. The motion carried, 5 in favor, 1
• opposed (Anderson).
3. Cherne Development Contracting Dedication
Lambert said the Cherne Corporation is offering to dedicate 10%
of their site in liew of the cash park fee and an additional 23%
by warranty deed as a gift in order to maintain the Blacklock
concept.
Lambert said this offer meets all City ordinances and would provide
a land donation comparable to the adjacent property owners. It does
however, mean that both the 10;;• and the 23 would be donated to the
Hennepin County Reserve District and the City would not receive any
cash park fees for this property.

Minutes - Parks, Recreation & Unapproved
Natural Resources Comnission -4- October 4, 1982
DeVoe went through each of the Master Plan plates, then requested questions
or caranents from the audience.
Lambert voiced several con.nents and concerns. He asked that the District
consider a floating boardwalk trail as access from the south Anderson
Lakes to the north Lake. Lambert said Staff is opposed to pedestrain
pathways along the west shore of either of the north or south lakes, and
is concerned with the proposed parking lot and access road. Staff feels
it is important to maintain the preservation character of Anderson Lakes
through views from Anderson Lakes Parkway, as well as the adjacent
neighborhoods. Lambert asked why there is no reference to picnicking
in the southeast corner of Anderson Lakes. Also, the use of an •
interpretive center in the south Anderson Lakes area?
DeVoe responded that both the interpretive center and picnic areas were
not suggested due to the problem of access into the south and north areas,
heavy traffic.
Resident Russell Bragg, 8813 Hidden Oaks Drive, said Anderson Lakes Parkway
already has such heavy traffic problems that putting the access to the
park there would increase the problems. •
Anderson noted that the issue of traffic and highway issues will be dealt • •
with elsewhere than this Commission meeting.
Lambert said he feels access has to come off Anderson Lakes Parkway but
the question is where and how.
Resident Trevor Gettleman, 8351 Hidden Oaks Drive said he feels strongly
the access and parking should occur away from the view of residents.
Resident Jack Krough, 8743 Bent•iood Drive, asked why no trails are planned
north of the north Lake where there are no people living nearby? DeVoe •
responded there are no trails planned there due to the scenic easement •
•
and the very wet conditions.
Kingroy asked if vehicular access off of a limited service road along
County Road 18 has been considered. This would avoid access off Anderson
Lakes Parkway. DeVoc said this is net being considered because it is
still unclear what the outcome of the County Road 18 upgrading will be.
Resident Ed Landes, 8355 Hidden Oaks Drive said he is concerned about
security if a trail along the west side of the south lake is put in.
He said he already has been burglarized once since living there and feels
a trail would be a security problem.
Resident Brian Viessner said he feels a trail in the south lake area will •
intrude with the deer population. •
Anderson said he is in agreement with the. Blacklock plan for the Anderson
Lakes area, that the western shore is supposed to be left. pristine. He
added that the City is very fortunate to have a large, well planned park

such as this and be part of the regional park system. This is the time for
people to voice their concerns and concerned residents should also let
the Council know their wishes.
Kingrey said it seems evident that there is not room for a trail on the
west side of south Anderson Lakes. Perhaps a trail along County Road 18
should be used as the access from the south lake to the north lake.
Schwartz said perhaps the access to the park should occur near the
Earl Smith he:e which would bring the access closer to County Road 18
off of Anderson Lakes Parkway. He said there would be proper screening
•
from residents at that location.
Resident Brian Wiessner asked how much canoeing would be allowed on the lake.
DeVoe said only canoeing under the direction of a naturalist will be
permitted. Canoeing would be part of the interpretive and scientific
programs run by the Hennepin County Park Reserve District.
MOTION: Kingrey moved to recommend to the Council approval of the
Joint Plaster Plan for Hyland/Bush/Anderson Lakes Regional Park Reserve
and include the following:
1. Delete west trail along south Anderson Lake
2. Delete parking and access road in proposed location
3. Consider vehicular parking and access road east of Amsden Way.
Schwartz seconded the motion and it carried unanimously. Gonyea abstained.
DISCUSSION: Lambert said he is opposed to Kingrey's suggestion of access
to the park fro:a a frontage road off County Road 18. This would require
extra space beyond the additional space required in upgrading Co. Rd. 18.
Also, he feels access can only occur off Anderson Lakes Parkway but not
across from Franlo Road as proposed, but further east so it will be out
of site for nearby residents.

RE: Joint ;taster Plan Hyland/lush/Anderson Regional Park Reserve
Dear Greg:
Upon review of a document titled "Final Draft" of the. Joint Master Plan for
Hyland/hush/Anderson Regional Park Reserve, I would like to submit several
cossnu its regarding concerns I have with the proposed draft. My concerns arc
based on the coals and objectives cite City of Eden Prairie has had o:t dev-
eloping Anderson Lai.cs Park since the early 197(' s. 'il;c basis of Eden
Pro ivie`a ,1rw' to' ',..nr nlnn for Anoorsim tutus I' F c: frail; I.CS III „,IVIock'S .

The Worlds". Sumo of the basic premises of this document were:
1. 'Die north and west shores of Anderson Lakes should remain
free of any human intrusion to guarantee protection of
w,;tcrfowl nesting in those areas.
2. The purpose of the park development would be as a nature
intcrp oeivc afro with sct::e picnicking and passive game
areas in the southeast corner of the park.
3. Nature ohscrv;ttion would be limited to the cast side of
the south lake and the south of the no...the n lake, and
this could he aceova,lished t!r•'uu!:h .inu'rprotive trails
lcadi;,!; to observation blinds on a number of paint:. out
into the lake. A series of loop trails through the marsh
unit into the wooded ;trca5, in this area, would he devel-
oped for this purpose.
4. There would he no boat or canoe traffic of either of the
lakes.

done so based on the premise that there would is no public intrusion on those
shores and thus no public trails between their property and the lakealtore.
The Joint plaster Plan refers to alternating the drainage of Anderson Lakes to
Nine•tlile (leek. It also refers to increasing the lake level from SSS to 839.
'11ta City would he interested in hcarin;', from the Park Reserve Ilistriet and the
ltatcr:.Lcd District on exactly hot: this: would he accomplished and wiwit affects
that might have on these lakes.
In reviewing the Joint castor Plan, I have noticed that there arc no projections
for nature study in Anderson Lakes and there are projections for booting of (non
powered boats) for III people per day on the lake, and projections for boating
(pr5::u: i ly poser) of 20 people' per day on the lake. The City of Mon Prairie
is ::ttongly opposed to any pis.ered boots on the lake and would question any use
of canons on the !aka prior to an opinion of a naturalist on the possible affects
of canoes disturbing waterfowl nesting areas.
Again, 1 Mould roriuc:.t that you reprove the paragraph referring to Riley Lake
Iligint:mal Park. the park on Riley Lake is no longer considered an existing or
future regional park, but is a city eor:nunity park
Under tilt II ielop:sent Concept portion of the pion Item I) - Recreational Concept
umber 1 - Prater Recreation/Anderson Lakes, 1'den Prairie staff i:ould request
that you rciiove the language referring; to Anderson kokos heiup mnnnped for canoe
and slsall boat usng,', and remove the boat launch suggested for the southwest corner
of s,..t.,,•.,,n !dikes'.
The City of Lden Prairie has consistently opposed any reference to CSAII 18 as a
"diviird" ro:tde:'v duo to the extensive and excessive, amount of p:rkiand that would
be taLrn for roadway purposes. Although, the City agrees that a four land up-
grading on Cocos•: !toad 18 is naccusary a "divided limited access" roadway is in
oppo_itiou ;.a tlto i:dcn Prairie Guido flan.
In this same portion of the plats under Recreation Concept - Trails, I would
request t!?.?t you eliiiil'011 all refcrences to a possible bike/hiko link to the
west o` :,oath .ht.;eri-on Lakes, as soil as the reference to the bike/hike trail
along Ills west shore of the north lake.
Under the paragraph doscril:ing proposed pirnick`.:!t areas there in no reference
to picnic'.ing; in the no?r,hea:1 corner or .\rdarson )rakes. However, in the budgeted
area :loch: is ;1d1i,I:5U prnposcd for dovelopticot of a picnic area in Anderson

Deer Kr. Cochran:
I will be unable to attend your information meeting at Lynnhurst Community
Center on Thursday, Oetour 1/.. How many of my neighbors in the Preserve
neighborhoods in rider, Prairie will be there I cannot say(they will be out in
force at the Eden Prairie Council Meeting, October 19). Cut as acting
superintendent, let :e a.uiress some is:ucewith you personally.
On October /., your presenting team appeared before the Eden Prairie Park,
Recreation and Natural !.esources Commission with the master plan. The meeting
was heavily ettended by people who live adjacent to the beautiful natural
park and eildlife. pre,erve of the southern most Anderson Lake. It was an
excellent meeting, highlighted by strong discussion, some information obviously
not in the possession of your presenter:, and a thorough and understanding
insight on the cart of the Eden Prairie Pork Commissioners of some of the
particular weaknesses if the master plan relative to the southern-most Anderson
Lake.
By the close of the meeting, as you may know, the Commissioners unanimously
passed a ::ution, forwarding to the City Council for their consideration, two
significant changes: 1) move the parking lot to a much less intrusive
and safer location closer to County Road 16, where it can be easily hidden in
the woods apnrosimately across from the Preserve Village ;hopping Center (where
clearing exist from houses demolished when the Preserve was formed).
2) Deletion of the chin path along the western chore where the marshland and
fin" gro:Lnd is ext:emuly nar•ow between the fence and the lake, where nesting
areas, feeding zones, and deer movement would bo severly affected. The eastern
side of nndereon Lnke is much broa.:er and access to the northern portion of the
lake can easily go up that side.
The attorney we have retained, Charles Dayton, who has much experience in the
environmental area, ' ib: been in tou h with Les Diacklock, the prominent
naturalist, who uid such of the original planning for ::den Prairie before
it ceded the land, ar:d he informs me that Les, who has walked the land,
strongly opposes the ..e. tern path, for reasons similar to (but more expertly
u:riei'.too;b);.he ait:eched open: letter.

Incidentally, your two nnpresentatives seemed to be very hazy on understanding
the constricted topography of the west side of Anderson Lake. It is to their
credit and reuse of cooperation that they admitted as much, and very patiently
took nob.; un the co;imentr made by resi-n'nts and Co:. fission members who had
intimate knowledge of that very fragile ribbon of land.
he recognize that Eden Prairie can only consult with the County and has no
authority to order changes. But one of the Commissioners who works for the
County, toil me later there was an exceilunt rapport bet":een the two park
systems, and he had faith the charges can be worked out.
Our only other recourse is the 14etropolitan Council itself, and contingency
plans are thing made by our attorney to take the matt,r up there, with expert
witnesses on environmental impact, such as Mr. lilaeklock, if need be; hopefully not.
Thank you for your consideration, I am

To whom it may concern:
I wish to comment on the County Park Board's master plan for
Anderson Lakes.
My home overlooks Ensign/Anderson Lake on the west from an adjacent
hill screened by oak trees. Perhaps more than any other person, I
have been a keen observer of the nature of the wildlife habitat.
It is pristine new but terribly vulnerable to the intrusion of
man, no matter how benign his intentions. •
•
The County would intrude a walkway directly on the most sensitive
part of the environment ... the narrow band of marsh grass and flats
on the edge of this shallow lake. It would promote the constant
disturbance of the natural state by building parking lots and
promoting traffic. This narrow ribbon teems with life, from nesting
birds, egrets feeding, to muskrats, raccoons, woodchucks and other
small mammals who are secure from disturbance or poachers because
the area is fenced off.
This is not at all like ioodlake, where the marsh spreads enough
distance in any direction to out sufficient distance between the
animal life and human intrusion. Ensign/Anderson is a very fragile
•
living lake environment with extremely narrow zones.of shore home
for wildlife that probably cannot be shared in a natural way, with
the interrupting presence of man. (The animal life loses, inevitably.)
Perhaps the flocks of ducks and Canadian geese can safely congregate
•
in the middle of the lake (or turn into handout artists) . But many .
less gregarious species will not nest or coexist at the lakes edge
with the encroachment of a pile-supported walkway, or the people
upon it, almost on top of them. The shier species of birds and
mammals will he forced out and the presently protected natural
environment altered forever. •
The County, with its insensitive recreational "development" scheme,
•
has chosen to disregard the kind of stewardship intended for this
unique environment by those who originally deeded it over as a
completely restricted nature reserve to the City of Eden Prairie.
The shocking carelessness of the administration of Eden Prairie in
abandoning their responsibility without adequate written safeguards
of one of the few utterly natural areas left in the metropolitan area,
now leaves the Council with a sober responsibility: to serve the
•
land with the same enthusiasm ar they serve the people who would
crowd upon it.
. Sincer ly,
,a4e.;i4 • ,
